FAMILY

  ‘Some families are nurturing places where people learn

   about their abilities, practice giving and receiving love, and
   dare to dream what they might become.

  ‘Some families are prisons where people do what they are

   told and wait long years for a word of appreciation or
   agitate for an opportunity to escape.’
                                                      - Miller
What makes the Difference ??
 ‘The   way a family communicates. A word or a
 look can lock someone in their world as turning
 a key. Yet the key that opens the possibilities of
 your World is still a look or a word. The
 difference ? – Effective Communication.’
                                             - Miller
What is CONFLICT ??
 Hocker and Wilmot(1985, p. 23) define conflict as "an
 expressed struggle between at least two interdependent parties
 who perceive incompatible goals, scarce rewards, and
 interference from the other party in achieving their goals”.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION:

 Conflict Resolution is conceptualized as the methods and
 processes involved in facilitating the peaceful ending of some
 social conflict.
What Causes Conflict ??
 Perceived breach of faith and trust.
 There is unresolved disagreement between
   individuals that has escalated to an emotional
   level.
 Miscommunication.                         Grrrrr…..

 There are personality clashes.
 Differences in acquired values.
                Grrrrr…..
COMMON REASONS FOR FAMILY DISPUTES AS
OBSERVED TODAY:
 Provocations and hurting each other by taunts, sarcasms

 Wife battering, dowry, bride burning;

 Violent behaviour of either spouse more often than not the husbands;

 Use of alcohol and drug abuse are also important factors;

 In many parts of India the question of dowry or promised dowry becomes
a point of wrangling between the spouses. The situation may be further
worsened or aggravated by needless interference from in-laws;
 Extra marital relations by either spouse or promiscuity;

 Doubting the integrity/ character of spouse (by either spouse).
THE NEED FOR FAMILY COUNSELLING
CENTRES :
  • In India, in the wake of increased family disputes, divorces,

    family violence, dowry harassment and family maladjustments
    some support systems came into existence to help the victims
    and the aggrieved parties. This gave rise to introduction of
    family courts and the concept of Family Counselling Centres.

SUGGESTIONS AND FINDINGS
 The findings revealed the varied nature of cases handled by the
  counsellors at the Family Counselling Centre. The cases reveal that
  women bore the brunt of marital conflict as a result of violence,
  dowry harassment, desertion etc.

• It was also noted that majority of the cases that were referred at the
  counselling centre, were at a point were reunion was impossible;
  that is, the time gap of separation was long or simple
  misunderstandings had grown into huge heaps of misconceptions.
  Hence, efforts should be taken to give importance to pre-marital
  counselling, as it would enable couples to face reality than raking up
  petty issues, thereby landing up in separation or divorce.
SUGGESTIONS AND FINDINGS
 The findings also revealed that a majority of physical harassment on
  the women was due to the demanding of unmet dowry needs that
  was often instigated upon the man by his parents.
 Family Counselling Centres can become a moral support system in
  our society, which is standing witness to the ever increasing divorce
  rates of young couples. These centres can ensure and provide ample
  guidance for couples who are having a constrained relationship
  between themselves, thereby giving vent for couples to reconsider and
  reunite.
IN CONCLUSION…
In order to make things fair, all INDIVIDUALS have to:
• Each person must be determined to work
together with the others.
• Understand the differences and accept the differences
• Avoid making things worse
• Work together
• Find a solution
